SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Paris - Papers of Sunday, the 17th iitst., , aiid the Eta* of Mondays date, which arrived yester(ay . , present their due offering of news and opinions on thp.• important measures now adopted by this country. They . contain comments on the state of affairs in the British capital on Thursday last ; whet), though the King of France's speech had been received, yet the public feel ing upon that and other documents 4iad not beensuf ficiently developed among us, to allow of an exact eSti , mete of it. The French will now, we trust, have well learned, that we have no other than the most peaceful sentiments and the kiudheat regards towards them, though we have been obliged to stop the current of in : pouring in upon the country of our faithful ally. the . French Minister cannot long delay--perhaps, ' while we are writing this, he may now be—addressing the ChaMber of Deputies on the affairs of the Penin sula. He cannot deviate from the tenor of his Ittiyal Master's :Speech already published, that he is striving, in conjunction with his faithful allies, to preserve peace iii the Peninsula. He cannot approve of the conduct of the. Spanish Government, which he has already re : probated, and threatened to punish by the recall of the : Freneli troops. He cannot, therefore, blame the in , - . Me osition of England to repress those outrages of 'Spain by farce, which France, the friend of Spain, bad r. :pre to the. aggressor as unjustifiable, and not to beiborn by us. Thus far M. Villele, and his friend Mr. Canning, must be in accord with each other: and iS, after this, the latter be thought to have too little . subjected his observations to the restraints of frigid rudenee,--to have expatiated with too much freedom in the field of polities,—M. Villele *ill recollect the impetuous ature and unmanageable force of the ~Speaker's eloquence; it is like the horse broke loose in • obi abruptie fugit preesepia unmake Tandem liher equus, cempoque potitue vertu; 'Apt ills in pasha armentsque tendit quer= ; Ant assuttne aqua perfundi amine noto Emicat, arrectieque (remit cerviviltue (110 Luxuriant, lutiuntque juhre per rolls, per Amos." M. %little will not too literally interpret expressions uttered in the ardour of excited feeling, and calculated to invert swell and dignity to elocution. No protest ngi4o • Mr. Canning 's speech is neceseary. The King 'a France is made to vaunt the , bravery of his subjects, and with reason. England has no -occasion to be ashamed of her power, or the : prowess of her inhabitants. The speeches of a Mi - meter are a manufacture for the home market ; it is only when sent abroad that they offend the taste and disturb the bile. We insert the translation of an article (perhaps from-the pen of; M. •Chateaubriand) frens the Journal dei Debuts,' oft the subject on which We havt, tiikikeit above . , for two reasons ;--first, becanse the .sentiments- it contains coincide with and corro borate our own; and next, .to correct a most singular mistake,or rather to enlighten an instance of the , darkest ignorance, in sortie of our contemporaries. How they could have called such a paper an Ultra journal, ,we cannot conceive, on any. other supposition than that they have never seen it. The extract which • we have nude to-day corrects the error, 'and shows the just and rational politics of the Jo u rn a l d es Deb a ls. • Neither can we close thia article Without paying our homage of respect to the Memory of the cele brated Malte Brun, one of thewriters in the Journal des Debuts, lately deceased.-- limes, l,f there be any truth iu a Oaten esirt, which appears in a letter from Ancona, in the New Times of yester. day, the Cerman Federation is as likely to be mealy ecl in war es ourselves Colonel Ileydeck (it is there said), a Bavarian officer, left' here (Ancona) • • about a month ago, with .16 other officers, provided with ample funds to . live independent of the.

Protected as they are '.by their Sovereign, they have to look forward to their remuneration at home and- as: their reward will be in propcalion to their services, some efforts may be hoped for from them."—We must say that we have always understood from Germans that this expeditioh is at the eXpence of the King of Bavaria. Now the King of Bavaria is the Sovereign of between three tole four millions of people, and Bavaria forms besides a State of the German Federation, the different Governments of which: are bound to protect each other, and are an swerable for each other. The Turks are not much 'skilled in European diplomacy ; and, therefore, they may not be aware of the cause of quarrel which the Sovereign of Bavaria (who bears a high character) has ,given to them.„ !At the same time, it certainly does stein, on the-part of this King, a ,very strong nice sure to compromise thus, not only his own. kingdoM, but the rest of the members of the federation, with out the least, eommunication, and without sanction obtained.-e-Morning Chronicle. `Thou la we snake very light of the threats held out by Mr. canning to the Legitimate Governments of. urope, believing that, .at the present time little aid could be derived by us, front • the disaffected in any , cenntry, not exceptnig even Italy, where the presence or the Austriens forms so strong a cause of excitement, Ott are.ready to admit that the consequences of a war . might, ere long, materially change the relationa he- Wien Governments and their subjects, For instance, e hold it to . be an axiom, that, so long as a nation ie;toierably proaperouts and enjoys the protection of ,person and property, mere diasatisfation with the form of Government,;or particular iiistitutions,' never lead to (Ten resistance to the GovernMent., The French ( so y • , eminent p ossesses, at tins time, that de gree of security which a growing industry and ff.pros rity and legal pr o t ect i on are ca l cu l a t e d t o There are causes,of . considerable irritation constantly at . work.

The only real security for Governments, we re , peat, is to be found in the finding vent for the enter prise, of the people, in the pursuits of industry and commerce( in the feeding them with hopes of wealth. and advancement. When men have something to hope under obedience, and something. to lose from the interruption of tranquillity, a Government may consi der- itself secure. There is no other , valid Security, Though, therefore, Mr; Canning might call long enough on the'Liberals of Europe before they svonld obey his summons, the security which the Govern, ments now possess might give place to a very different state of things. If the Governments can under Stand this, well and good ; but we do not see how, if they do net understand it, the ',possible consequences, of their folly can be any security to us against a struggle, in which We could not avail ourselves of any . existing discontent, but Could only look to insurrection as a remote consetlitenCe.--Ibid. Now that the armed interference' of England, in sup port of the existing Government of Portugal, is placed be ond all doubt, some of the French Papers, which affected to deprecate all insurrectionary 'movements before, disclose the genuine sentiments of their patrons. The Quotidienne, from which we gave extracts yester day, arraigns Mr. Canning of " cl umsy - finesse" and bad faith, because ho has accused Spain of having suported and acted hi concert with the rebel soldiers of . Portugal. The same Paper states that Mr. Can ning at first declared that the British Government 'would not meddle with the different parties in that country, and that the clpthsite language which he now holds " reminds one of , the old and bad faith of British Ministers, which is so celebrated in diplomacy, and of those arbitrary interpretations which the English Go vernment gives to its words, its promises, . and its treaties." These moral sentiments are, undoubtedly, much to he admired, as coming from a class of poli ticians who pride themselves more on their capacity for intrigue than on any adherence to the dictates of truth and hon Our, Indeed the latter words never seem to be in their mouths but when they are acting in studied violation of the principles which they , imply—carefully observing,' as they do, that Maxim of their school, that " language was given to man to conceal his thoughts." A lecture on political economy coming from such high authority must have great force, particularly when we open the " History of France," for the purpose: of giv ing-a clear explanation of its meaning. In, a very re cent page of that " History," we read thatthe most so lemn assurances were given by the French Government to the English Ministry, a short time before the invasion of Spain, that no hostile proceedings. on the,, part of France were to take place, and that, the " Sanitary Cordan" was merely to prevent, as its name implied, the spreading of a contagious distemper beyond the frontiers, and nut to facilitate the sudden irruption 'of an army across the Pyrenees. Bysuch assurances the English Government were lulled while the French were collecting a great body. of troops, with all the equipments of war, in the neighbourhood of Bayonne ; and, , when the project was ripe for execution, the " Sanitary Cordon" : was, by one of those political Me tatnarphoses which excel any trick that the wand of Harlequin, performs -on the stage, converted into a : tremendous invading force; and it was scarcely known that the standard of war was unfurled when it was planted on the soil of Spain—just before declared to be sacred It is surely modest, then, of that party who were the occasion of putting such an ,act of " righteous policy" on . record against France, to des cant so tenderly as they . do on the <, bad' faith" of the British Ministry., We would uot, however, excivie a breach of faith eonimitked ,by Mr. Canning, or any of our Ministers, on the.grotnid that the first example of treachery% wait' given by `tllo','Vectieficl'or we abhor treachery, and all who practise ,it, too intich to hold ;any man justified who pleads in his own excuse the baseness of another. Now, if Mr. C a nnin g said that he would not intermeddle between the parties in Portugal; it ,must 1414' been connected with the .conditioit that others did not. intermeddle with thern, fur surely Mr. Canning could never have used words, the meaning of which would go to abrogate the solemn engagements of treaties which had been entered into • between England and Portugal, with all due form, • and in the face of Europe. By those iteaties England, as the French Ministers well -know, was bound to give assistance to the existing Government of Portugal, if it should ever be assailed by a foreign power. Vkie are not now considering the wisdom of those. treaties, but as England did not anise to have them dissolved while Portugal was at peace with all the world, it would have been very bad faith indeed to have beaked out of the Treaties the moment 'a foreign power threatened the independence of Por tugal. This " expedient" policy, we know, the Jesuit masters of the pliable Villele could easily reconcile to their code of morals, but we trust that England will never be distinguished 'for that convenient interpreta, lion Of Treaties which would destroy all confidence in the pledged honour of her most solemn enga i gements. ,'Then that it is a foreign aggression which has been made upon Portugal no one can for an instant doubt, and the :French .Ministers would laugh at our States men as egregious fools if they believed the Portuguese rebels could have been organised and equipped in without the countenance and encouragement pi the Spanish Government, which is under the im mediate contrail' of the French Cabinet, and is actually within the grasp of its military force. Aud, indeed, the Quotittienne lets out, in its chagrin, the truth which US prudence would have concealed. It endeavours to console itself with the reflection, that before the British troops can arrive in the Tagus, " the Government of the Cortes:will be overturned, and 'the monarchical Government restored." ‘• It will remain, then; to be seen (it goes on to say) whether time British Cabinet Will 'undertake to overturn an order of things which will be supported by the unanimous consent of the Portuguese, ' This passage requires no comment, because it shows, as 'clearly as the light of noon-day, that when the French 'Ambassador at Madrid pro moted the views of the rebel troops who were prepar.i . log to reenter their country ,with. fire and sword, he only obeyed the Wishes of that party of which the qiiotidienne is the : organ..--4 party hostile to the peace of Europe, and destined to be fatal to France-- 7 a party that at the same time possess the influence and riches of the altar, and usurp the majesty of the t o We gave it aw our opinion, several weeks ago, that if France, Spain, and the other .Continental Powers, who took an interest in putting down the Portuguese Constitution, would have the good sense to - leave that People t o th emse l ves , t h ey wou ld either make no use 'A' the Charter or: soon resign -it -to the hands from which they received it. From all credible accounts that have yet come to hand, there does not appear among the people the least enthusiasm for the new state of thinss ; th ere i s , on th e contrar y, among. a ,great part of the population, the most violent hostility aga inst it, and We are trite convinced that unless the Luglish troor Perform a m i rac l e ,_ we shall have all the battle to ght oursel ves . The Portuguese people know not what a Constitution means. heir priests, however, endeavour, and we fear but too success fully, to instil into their minds their own opini ons of it—that it is damnable and heretical ; that it comes from the hands of ifefetibi, and will work ihile structfon of all who obey it. There cannot, be' •a , more hopeless or preposterous attempt than tO-for,ce, on an ignorant, bigotted people, any plan of re form in opposition to :the wishes and self-interest of the clergy, ':who hold supreme rule over them, This we are convinced will be verified in 'Portugal, as it frequently has been in other countries. All that we ought to do—and now that we have thrown the firebrand among them we are bound to do it—is to prevent the one party from tearing the other to pieces. If the Constitutionalists will, not fight for the Charter, what' matter is it to us ? If the other isthe stronger party, certainly it is not the duty, ,or the interest of England, merely because she is an ancient and faith 7 fill ally o( Portugal, to spend her treasures in forcing them to accept it. Let Don Pedro see to this. We are afraid he is quite forgotten in that country, and will find but a small number to • defend his cause. Don Miguel, : the legitimate and absolute, is now the Only object of enthusiasm. The last revolution at Lisbon might have convinced any Ministers that the people were not yet fit for any other Government but of an absolute monarchy. Another attempt, however, has been made, and as yet it has been most unfortu nate. The Miguelites have been traversing the coun try, almost without opposition, and in Many places are welcomed 4 . the people with shouts of joy: -It is not at all improbable that they may have possession of Lisbon and Oporto by the time our troops, reach the coast of Portugal. The mind shudders-at time thouOt of the excesses which a bigotted - and furious multitude may Though we do nut suspect Ferdinand or his Mi nisters of devoting much time to the perusal ofEnglish newspapers ' yet the, opinions' on which they act are piobably influenced not a little by the vague n o ti ons transmitted to thern :concerning the state of England, her views,-and bee, capacity of action. These notions can scarcely', fail to be, derived in'. a considerable de gree from our newspapers ; and we confess, that, in •our eyes, the insane conduCt of Ferdinand loses much of its extravagance, when we look at the unprincipled and ignorant attempts, which for some months have been sySteMatically made by the corrupt and vulgar part of the daily press, to degrade the character of this country. They have been most assiduous in telling Ferdinand, that, let him play what tricks he pleased,. England was in too miserable a plight to dare to. interfere with him. , Why, then, should they be , surprised, that he should at length take their hundred times repeated hint, and dire to act, 'as if England bad now only a voice to implore, and nut an arm to strike? For several. mouths some of our Journals have availed 'themselves to the utmost of the popular craving for cornplaint and longing after an unattainahle, degree of ideal prosperity ; and,aware : of the - Much higher interest whichis excited by anticipa tions of downfal, and pictures of progressive ruin, than any calm representation of the truth can create, they have pampered and stimulated , and catered for this diseased appetite. England has been exhibited as in the last stage of 41ft:4, Famine, forsooth, was wait ing at our gates ; our manufactures were Sinking under the successful rivalry of foreigners ; the revenue of the State was gone ; tottering on the verge. of national bankruptcy, the sli g ht e st i m p u l s e f rom a b r o a d would suffice to hurl us to the bottom ; nay; the very at tempt to take arms: into , our hands would subvert -our and roll us over the precipice. ,Such was the England WWII a treacherous Press told Ferdinend he had to 'deal with. There is a public mischief in these distorted representations of the consequences of of every fluctuation in our -internal State, which some of our Journals,: ; from party spirit, and others, who have no principle or party, from' the more contempti ble motive of individual profit, disseminate through the world. At home, they do little harm. They may produce, a petulant speech at a meeting .of the Corn. mon Council, or supply Waithman or Hume with materials . .for an -harangue t o :w hi c h no b o d y li stens . This is the minoit, of their power among ourselves. Abroad, they are not equally•innocent ; fOr they tend to degrade the character of England in the eyes of foreigners ; amid to a nation, as well as to an indivi dual, a diminution of reputation is a loss of influence and strength. :Our triumphs in war, our superiority its the arts. of peace, our opulence, our liberty, Our moral empire over the opinions' and feelings• of the world, make us an object of envy to surrounding nations, who are glad to find a pretext for reducing us more nearly to a level with themselves'; and foreigners can say, plausibly : enough, that they are not likely to do us any injustice, if they believe only half the evil which we tell concerning ourselves. Unfortunately, they have only to look into the lucubrations of some of our-contemporaries, in order to find every fa c t, an d every principle, either ao perverted, or so misunder stood, as, to .afrord them grounds for thinking of us and our rulers as lowly and as contemptibly : as their jealousy or dislike may require. The adirisers of Fer dinand must have been 'actuated by a persuasion that England wouldilot, atpresent . go beyond remonstrance and complaint ; and we know nothing so likely to begei, rt,flrm persuasion to that' effect, 'as the absurdities and lies which have been propagated of late by our radical press, if hat press, we scruple not to say, is in a great measure answerable for th e n ecess ity i n which Eng- land bu been placed, of *hewing by her acts : that her strength is not gone from her, nor her old habit altered, of protecting, at every risk, those who put their faith in treaties of allianie wftliter.,,New.
